The Holiday Season is for all ages
The joy, wonder, and excitement of the holidays should be enjoyed by everyone, no matter the age. Sadly, many of our elders face a sad and lonely holiday season. Many have outlived friends and family, and some have no family in the general area. Often, they have not received a holiday gift in a number of years. Just knowing they are remembered and someone cares can bring back the magic of Christmas. Hospets tries to share the holiday spirit in a few different ways: Santa Paws- this is a program that matches seniors (with and without pets) to families who adopt them for the holidays. These families deliver requested items and other holiday surprises. Holiday Baking Brigade- Each year a group of volunteers bakes, boxes, and delivers boxes of homemade holiday cookies and candies to local seniors Holiday Pet Food Drive- Each year the Friends of Alum Creek Dog Park hosts a pet food/supply drive benefitting Hospets and Delaware Sourcepoint. The food and supplies collected are distributed to low-income seniors throughout the year Holiday Dinner Party- Each year we select one local senior housing facility and throw a holiday party to remember. A complete holiday meal, beverages, and desserts are provided as well as music, gifts, games and more. |
